Stuff that’s easier to keep as open tabs (in a tree format via TreeStyleTab) and eventually close those trees when they are no longer needed, as opposed to bookmarking everything and eventually accumulating a bajillion of irrelevant bookmarks. E.g., I’m doing house renovation so I might have a good few hundred tabs open just on that topic which will eventually get closed.


On most browsers you can organize bookmarks in folders/tree structures. You could then delete folders/trees of bookmarks at a time, eliminating this "accumulating a bajillion of irrelevant bookmarks".


I know. Been there, done that. To each his own, I guess. An open tab is an open tab, if I close it, it's gone forever unless I bookmark it which I would very rarely do. A bookmark is an inverse, it's going to stay there forever unless you clean it up and manually delete it. In my experience, a few hundred more open tabs beats ten thousand dead bookmarks, and closing tabs is easier than cleaning up bookmarks.


Tabs being "open" doesn't mean they're loaded into ram.
